This may sound funny, but the stuff that interests me most about this Jeep is the windshield, exoskeleton and snorkel. Hell, you think gas prices are bad? Do you have any idea what it'd cost to shoot one of those guns (not to mention all the federal stuff?) The other stuff looks really doable. I brought up the jerry can mount thinking it might be cool to carry some extra fuel without putting the extra 80 or so pounds hanging back behind the rear wheels. I've seen some skinnier less capacity cans somewhere, but don't seem to be able to find them today.

I do like that Jeep. But, as much as it would be so really cool to own and drive it, I bet it would be a real hassle every time I went to the BX or commissary on Tinker Air Force Base!

I agree with Seer1--I want to know more about that windshield.

Yeah I could see you trying to get on base with that thing. I have a kafia I picked up in the Middle East that would go quite nicely with it. It really freaks out the ORV haters in Telluride. I always make sure to wear it when I drive through there.

That windshield looks integral to that exoskeleton. The top of the windshield just needs to be made compatible with our tops and...

Isn't that the new Egyptian gun truck? I read somewhere its got the JK body, but Ram brakes/leaf springs and the 4.0L CRD...or I could be confusing it with something else.

Either way, it's pretty bad. I've got a different pic of this same Jeep as my background at work and my troops are always telling me I have to do that to my JK.

As for the Door Jerry Can mount, maybe you could use something like this:

FInally found it. It's the Rotopax gas cans. Seems like they could be mountede to the rear doors and still be protected by a good set of sliders with rails. Of course it would be "FOR OFF ROAD USE ONLY"
